A sturdy, adjustable A-frame stand that works for the whole family. With a 150 kg capacity and five height settings, it suits kids through adults—whether you need a calming sensory space, a reading nook, or just a comfortable place to unwind.
Perfect for families, carers, and NDIS participants who want safe setup without drilling into ceilings. Use it at home, on the balcony, or by the pool.
Why families choose this stand
- 150 kg rating means teenagers and adults can use it daily without worry
- Wide triangular base with non-slip feet stays stable on pavers, decking, or indoor floors
- Five height positions let you adjust for different users—from low, grounding swings to higher vestibular input
- Powder-coated, rust-resistant steel built for Australian conditions
- Weekend setup with clear instructions and common tools
Why this matters
Most stands top out at 80-100 kg or start wobbling on real-world surfaces like timber decks and uneven pavers. This A-frame is built differently. The wide footprint and triangular geometry keep it planted, even with regular start-stop motion—think after-school calming time or evening reading sessions.
We worked with Brisbane-based occupational therapists during design to ensure the height range supports both calming activities (lower positions) and vestibular therapy (higher settings). The result is a stand that matches common therapy protocols without needing custom modifications.
Families tell us they rotate users throughout the day: morning quiet time for a primary-schooler, homework break for a teen, then a wind-down spot for parents. The reinforced hanging point and snap hook handle this kind of daily family use.
A-frame vs. ceiling mounting
If you own your home and have accessible ceiling joists, a ceiling mount saves floor space. But A-frames work better when you're renting, want to move your setup between rooms, or need to test different locations before committing.
Families with sensory seekers particularly value the flexibility—you can take the stand outside in good weather, relocate it to a quiet bedroom corner, or pack it away when you need floor space back. You're not locked into one spot.

Common questions
Will it fit a small balcony?
Yes—the footprint is 113 cm by 138 cm. Measure your space and allow a bit of swing room. Many apartment users position the open side facing outward to maximize floor space.
Is 150 kg the working limit or just a safety maximum?
It's the working rating for daily use. The steel frame and reinforced hanging point are built for regular family use, not just occasional weight.
We live near the coast—will it rust?
The frame is powder-coated with anti-rust treatment. In salty air, rinse the frame periodically and dry it off. Check hardware as part of routine maintenance.
What chairs work with this stand?
Most fabric styles, cotton designs, and cocoon sensory swings with a single central hanging point. Compare dimensions and hanging methods in our collection if you're unsure about compatibility.
How long does assembly take?
About 20–30 minutes with common tools. The manual uses simple steps with diagrams. Most people find the trickiest part is lining up the chain height evenly on both sides—our tip is to mark your preferred setting with tape before attaching the chair.
Can I use it on polished timber floors?
Yes. The non-slip feet help protect flooring. For extra care on polished timber or tiles, add a protective mat underneath.
Does it fold for storage?
The frame breaks down into sections for seasonal storage or moving between rooms.
